I'll be home...

I've never been big on Christmas Day. I like Christmas Eve. The anticipation. The gathering of family and friends. The excitemtent of what's to come tomorrow. That's what these two images are meant to invoke.

Here are two uniquely Midwestern spins on winter, and Christmas.

A late evening train bringing families together, as the local townspeople put the final touches on the decorations.

A tree lighting ceremony in the town square complete with music and warm drinks.

Celebrations of winter at it's best!
